Police officers last evening shot dead an armed and dangerous thug responsible for a series of robberies in Nairobi’s Eastlands area
The thug was shot at Mathare’s Mlango Kubwa area after a fierce exchange of fire with police.
‘’The thug only known as Vinnie was destined for tragic fate as he walked into a trap laid by the top crime busters falling for it hook, line and sinker. He had no room for escape as he came face to face with the battle-hardened sleuths based at DCI Starehe, whose excellent record in dealing with armed miscreants speaks for itself’’ Reads Police Report
The report added, ‘’Earlier, the sleuths had laid a trap for Vinnie who was headed for his usual nocturnal adventures and immediately after he was ordered to stop he defied the ultimatum, reached for his firearm and began shooting indiscriminately pap! pap! pap! pap! as he attempted to escape. Nonetheless, his shots missed our men who had taken cover in a drainage trench, prompting the section commander to return the provocation with lethal accuracy Prrrrr! rat-taat-taaat! taaaat! escorting Vinnie’s soul for judgement with a volley of blaring gunfire, that echoed across the Mathare valley in the dead of the night!’’
According to DCI officers, Vinnie was a wanted man for the past few months after violently snatched a motorbike from a boda boda rider.
Police says he was also part of an upcoming gang responsible for a series of armed robberies within Pangani, Mathare, Eastleigh and Huruma areas.
‘’A retay falcon pistol loaded with two rounds of 9mm calibre and five spent cartridges were recovered following the shootout’’ said the police
His body was taken to City mortuary awaiting post mortem, identification and collection.
